Never Ending Story 《Seungjin FF》

{17}

(A/N): So in this chapter I'm gonna explain the story of Hyunjin. And then we come back to reality! Hope you enjoyed~

Hyunjin felt hot tears stream down his face again. He couldn't go to meet his friends for the last time. He felt like he lost a part of his life. Yes, he was shifting houses. Not just a house that he grew up in and had a great attachment with it, but also many emotions with heartfelt memories were stored in it. That was the house where he had first met his grandmother who had died in 2017. He loved her so dearly.

He was always the one to trust people very fast so he hurt more easily.

The tall boy was alone in his new room which was much more bigger than his previous one. But he loved cosy places. The last time his grandmother had died. Hyunjin was just told that he was going to meet his sick granny but when he reached her house, it was a funeral, she had died three days ago. They all lived in Seoul so how could they go to her place after her death which happened before three long freaking days. And his family hadn't even told him! How could they?! Hyunjin was beyond sad at that point. He had serious break downs in school sometimes. And the person who always guessed it correct was Seungmin.

One time when the school had just been dismissed, he cried so hard that their class mate, Taeyong was hugging him for comfort and asking him what had happened. He was so nervous because he didn't know why he was crying. Seungmin had asked him if it was his grandma and it was right. See, he really did have a deep connection with his grandmother. He missed her everyday single damn day and just when he was about to get over the fact. His another grandmother had died. And worse he had to leave his home and live in Incheon. He didn't want to tell his friends.

What he was most depressed about was not being about to go to their last meeting. Seungmin had been allowed to be independent finally! But he couldn't go and meet him anymore. His mother had told him to let go of his friends because now they would not meet at all. And their dream of going to the same University together, was gone in vain.  That day when he had finally been able to call Seungmin back, in mid way his family had arrived and were calling him for lunch.

They were really sorry towards Hyunjin but they said that they couldn't live in Seoul because that city was a hell of a polluted place and it had too many disadvantages for health. Hyunjin was not angry at them, it wasn't their fault. They were just forced to do this because his parents business. So, he had to accept his cruel fate.

Hyunjin wondered what Seungmin wanted to announce. 'Was he going to suggest the uni they should go in? Or was he going to announce that he had a girlfriend or boyfriend?' Well this thought hurt him. More thoughts flooded in his head. 'Is he over me? I mean it is good for him. He was hurting a lot.' then one terrible truth hit him, now he wasn't crying over his old house but for his friends. He never gave them a good farewell. He never explained! Seungmin had once told him, 'You can always share your problems with me. I'll always help. You are my best friend after all.' leaving the fact that Seungmin like him, he still kept his feelings behind when Hyunjin was in need. He always did and after 2018's incident happened his care became stronger.

Hyunjin heard footsteps. He quickly ran and washed his face and came out as if nothing had happened. His mother had called him down for dinner. Hyunjin nodded and followed her down. Non of his family members noticed his eyes. His sister, Yeji was constantly looking at him.

"Are you fine?" She asked. It was a rare case when all of his sister and brother would gather in a dinner. Each of them were busy. One had to go to work other had to go to uni.

Hyunjin looked up at her and give her his best smile. "Yeah, just upset that we shifted and I couldn't say good bye to my friends." Hyunjin said. Yeji smirked. "Your boyfriend you mean?" Hyunjin blushed but rolled his eyes ignoring her anyways.

There she had gone again. He used to text and talk on call with Seungmin so much, the countless times he had denied the fact that he was his best friend, she still teased him. He was fed up with her. Hyunjin's parents were just there hearing their conversation. "You have a boyfriend?" His mother asked. Hyunjin froze. Yeji smiled. Hyunjin opened his mouth to speak but the dread inside of him made him freeze on spot and noting left his mouth. Yeji excitedly told them about it. After she was done, both of his parents and his brother, Kai looked at him smirking.

A drop of sweat trickled down his face. "We won't say anything to you Hyunjin. You are a grown man now. You can make your own choices. Anyways we do love you, so we are happy to see you happy." Hyunjin's mouth flung open. Did they just- but a light bulb flashed in his head. "Uh, mom, dad." He looked at them nervously. His parents looked at him indicating they were listening. "I don't have a boyfriend....yet. But I like a boy. He was going to the same University as me. Can I go to that University only? I mean I already got accepted too, so can I chase after him? And I promise I'll keep up my grades. If I drop it by one percent too, you can just bring me back. Can you please?" Hyunjin asked.

He had extended a really great offer to his parents. They thought for a while and Mrs. Hwang looked at her husband. He finally nodded. "Fine but as you said one percent-" Hyunjin was doing a over dramatic dance of happiness being the drama queen he is. Hyunjin nodded vigorously. "But are you sure you can live alone? In the dorm?" Mrs Hwang asked. "Mom, I'm eighteen this year." Hyunjin reassured.

"Don't worry mother. Everyone will be hitting on my dearest brother, he won't get hate for sure." Yeji slung her arms around Hyunjin.

Hyunjin decided to surprise his friends. It was only a month now before uni started. He was going to apologize them for not being able to explain before hand. And he would surprise Seungmin.

But why was he so excited to surprise him out of all his friends. What was this happiness bubbling inside of him? Hyunjin shook it off. And went up stairs to open the email that remained in his bin for nearly a week now. He opened it again and saw the accepted letter. He smiled.

Little did he know, the day Hyunjin would be going back to Seoul, was the day Seungmin was arriving at Incheon. They had zero chance to meet eachother. But here Hyunjin was, jumping up and down with happiness that their group was coming back together. This time Hyunjin had decided. He would make Seungmin and his friendship back to normal. Be it anything. He would make it like before.

But how could he when he wouldn't even know where Seungmin would be when he arrives at Seoul.
